Continue to rework the grid.

As the health care debate comes down to the wire, it should be nothing short of obvious to Christians that what we are facing is a form of evil that this nation hasn’t had to face in its history.  Our forefathers have fought many a war against enemies that were power hungry, corrupt and evil, yet none pose a challenge quite like what we are seeing today.

In case it isn’t obvious, however, let me help clear some fog.

With a very clear majority of the people of this nation saying loudly that the current health care takeover is not what they want, the power mad folks in congress continue to march ahead with the “nuclear” and “slaughter” options.  Do you think God just might have a message in this?  The names given to the methods our “leaders” are using to pass this hideous legislation are more accurate to what can happen if passed than 97% of the people in this nation realize.

People are not thinking through the logical conclusion of this legislation, nor its unintended consequences. Let’s look at two possible scenarios…

Imagine a day when a loved one is stricken with cancer.  You go to the doctor and are given a list of options for your treatment.  Because of age, social status, previous health history, etc. – the most effective options are not presented to you.  Fine, you say.  I’ll opt for some unconventional treatments which have a great track record of success.  Wrong – they have long since been made illegal.  I’ll go south of the boarder for treatment.  Wrong – new treaties are in place which would prohibit you from doing so.   Your options are to a) die slowly over the next few months or b) die quickly as you prepare to be euthanized.

Or, say, your child falls and breaks their arm and you go to the doctor for treatment.  The government launches an investigation and discovers that your child broke their arm while jumping on a trampoline you have had for the past 7 or 8 years.  Because it is larger than the government allows, and because it does not have a net, you are required to pay a fine of $5,000.  Your family is put on a government watch list as being negligent parents and you find yourself “on probation.”  If another child gets hurt using a non-government approved device, they will come and take your children away from you “for their safety.”  Child number two gets hurt.  Up the driveway comes Child Protective Services – oh yes, by the way, now with the authority of the UN Rights of The Child Treaty behind them.

Any person who does not believe that the above scenarios are not only possible, but in some form or another probable under a government run health care system of the future, is simply not willing to face reality.  The freedom such a plan would rob from them to make decisions over the most intimate aspects of their life – their health – and the ability of the government to control the makeup of the land they live on, the products they buy, the tools they use, etc. – is immeasurable.  My message to them – wake up.  Many are.  And that is why this is such a critical issue.

The people of this nation who dearly love their freedom have awakened.  They are a percentage of the population greater than the elite bargained for.  The elite believed they had a majority of Americans dumbed down, their understanding of history and love for freedom had died (or so they thought).  They believed they had the vast majority of Americans dumbed down into thinking our nation is a democracy, where 51% gets to tell the other 49% what to do, think, say, eat, feel, buy and believe.  They thought that those two “victories” would allow them to strike the final blow to our Constitution and our way of life, paving the way for the New World Order.

They were wrong.

While it is true, most Americans were asleep and off chasing the materialism enabled by our dishonest monetary system, sleep is a very different thing than being dead.  Ask anyone who has stumbled upon a bear in hibernation or come upon any other wild animal when the animal did not expect it.  They can become ferocious very quickly.

And that people, is why this health care legislation is so dangerous.  The asleep have awakened.  They see that health care is but one of a growing number of threats to their way of life.  And that way of life, which was focused on material things, is slowing refocusing on an object in the distance that they had lost sight of.  Freedom.

Health care is now the prod that the elite are unwittingly using to jab at the awakened animal – Americans who actually value freedom over the perceived security of the welfare state.  They do not understand that this animal, at least a significant number of those that make it up, will fight their way back to that distant object and will in fact die in an effort to reclaim it for them and their posterity. The elite thought those people simply no longer existed.

Here is the reality. Whether or not you agree with that small percentage of the American population that make up this animal, 2%, 3%, 5%, 10%? who will literally fight to the death to reclaim freedom – whether or not you join them, stand against them, or remain passively by in an attempt to remain “neutral” – you will not be exempt from the consequences if it gets that far.

Do the math.  One million private citizens standing for freedom at whatever the cost will mean a long, difficult and bloody struggle.  It would not leave a life untouched in this country.

So, once again – deal with reality or it will deal with you.  If you are not doing everything in your power to stop the evil coming from Washington.  If you are not on your knees, crying out to God for mercy.  If you are not calling your family, friends and church into repentance for the many sins of our nation…

Be careful.  The consequences of doing nothing has never been greater.
